Bottle tops and potatoes delight tree festival goers in Balerno

This year’s Christmas Tree Festival was hosted in five outdoor venues across Balerno village.

Even the rain didn’t stop large numbers of visitors taking the Christmas Tree Trail and enjoying the wide range of imaginative, weather-proof decorations.

They voted Dean Park Primary School’s tree, decorated with potato reindeer, People’s Choice winner. Meanwhile, local musician Mike McKenzie chose Tiphereth Camphill Edinburgh’s tree as the Judge’s Choice.

Congratulations and thanks to all our volunteers, decorators, contributors and supporters.
